Okay, we are tasked with adding 7051 and 9656. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 5 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 6 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 9 in column 4 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 7051 + 9656 = 16707.
